Radford – Basketball 🏀 is a game of match ups and that proved to be the case Wednesday night in Radford where the JV Cavaliers couldn’t keep pace with the hard charging Bobcats, falling 61-33.
Carroll County pulled within 10-8 Midway through the first quarter as four different Cavaliers scored two points. Just before the end of the frame the Bobcats scored three points and the run 🏃♂️ reached 14-4 over the remaining time in the first half.
Revisiting the match-up issue, CCHS handled Floyd County twice only to have FCHS get the better of Radford a few nights later. CCHS played a close third quarter (13-10) before the Bobcats pulled away late to create the final margin of victory. Radford has the rare combination of height and speed.
Nine different Cavaliers found their way into the scorebook, led by Colton Gravley with 9 points. Dane Leonard and Blake Reed both added five points each for Head Coach Jason Stockner.
